August 1, 2017: The Western Union Co., founded in 1851 and based in Denver, plans to get its message out in a new way — via the jerseys of the hometown NBA’s Nuggets.

Western Union has signed a three-year sponsorship to become the team’s first jersey logo-patch sponsor, under a three-year plan the NBA is launching this coming season.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The wide-ranging strategy between Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, which owns the Nuggets, and Western Union could have an impact across several leagues and two cities.

Among other holdings, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment owns the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams and the new billion-dollar stadium being built for the team in Inglewood; in addition to the Nuggets, MLS Colorado Rapids, the Nuggets’ home arena Pepsi Center and the Rapids’ home venue, Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

Beyond the logo patch, Western Union branding will appear in Pepsi Center, including digital in-game signage and features during Altitude Sports television and radio broadcasts.

"We are proud to have this new partnership with Western Union who, like the Nuggets, are Colorado-based but with an incredible international presence," Jim Martin, CEO and president for Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, said in a statement.

"Being able to better connect with our fans both locally and worldwide is crucial, and combining forces with such a highly regarded global company as Western Union, with its powerful presence and brand, is an affirmation of the significance the NBA and Nuggets have in Colorado, the U.S. and throughout the world," said Martin.

Most of the logo patch deals unveiled to date have been in the $5-$8 million range annually.

However, a recent deal signed between the Cavaliers and Goodyear could top $10 million, according to industry analysts.

"We are proud to have this new partnership with Western Union who, like the Nuggets, are Colorado-based but with an incredible international presence."

The NBA champion Golden State Warriors, which have not yet signed a jersey patch deal, were said to be asking $15-$20 million.

All patches will be 2.5 x 2.5 on the left side, with a Nike Swoosh logo on the right side, with Nike taking over as the league's official on-court uniform provider.

The Charlotte Hornets will wear a Nike division Jordan Brand as the team is majority owned by Michael Jordan.

According to Western Union CEO Hikmet Ersek, "Western Union is proud to call Denver home, and, just like the Nuggets, we are a global team who brings out the best in one another.

"Basketball is a tremendous global sport with a very loyal following — unifying communities and erasing borders. It’s exciting to share our support and pride with our community, our customers in Denver, and those around the world who are passionate fans of the game," said Ersek.
